"There are no women in the city defense army's main camp. And no women will be allowed to stay. Forget about it."Sean rejected them directly.He would not tolerate or compromise anything that might negatively impact the city defense army, even if it involved him.Seeing Sean so determined, Yvonne's mother sighed repeatedly.Yvonne could not take it anymore and said, "Dad, Mom, stop it. How could an important man like Commander Lennon have any interest in me?"With that said, Yvonne put down her cutlery and went out.Yvonne's mother shouted twice, but Yvonne did not come back. Instead, she sped out of the house."That child..."Yvonne's mother said helplessly.Bob was a little embarrassed, but he still smoothed things over by saying, "She's just stubborn. Commander Lennon, don't mind her.""Of course, I won't. It's not that I think you're not good enough for me, but the military rules are like that. As the city defense army's commander-in-chief, I can't take the lead in viola

She knew Sean would not want her, let alone have much to do with her life. Perhaps after the slum's issues were dealt with, Sean would never come to this place again, and they would never see each other again.She and Sean were from the same city but seemed to live in two different worlds. They were so far away that they could not meet.However, she still felt upset.She felt an urge to cry but did not cry out loud. However, beads of tears kept falling from her face.Just then, faint sparks lit up ahead.Someone was smoking.Yvonne took a closer look and found three thug-like young men smoking next to a pile of rubble.It was already late, and the slum was not filled with entertainment centers like downtown. With three young men suddenly gathering and smoking here, they must not be nice people.Therefore, Yvonne pretended she had not noticed them and prepared to retrace her steps.However, she had turned around and taken two steps when the three young men came after her."Hey

Two flashlights provided some light in the abandoned building.On the floor covered in rubble, the three young men got some straw from somewhere and spread it on the floor. Then they pressed Yvonne on the straw to harass her.Yvonne kept struggling. Coupled with the conservative clothes she was wearing, the three young men could not pull her clothes off."Don't move! Don't move! F*ck. Do you not understand English?"The blonde-haired leader slapped Yvonne, and half of Yvonne's face immediately reddened and swollen. There was also a cut at the corner of her mouth, where bright red blood bled.The slap was so hard that Yvonne was dumbfounded. Then she stopped moving and only wept.The three young men seized the opportunity to pull off Yvonne's clothes. Her top was almost torn."Stop it... I do know the city defense army's commander-in-chief... If you hurt me... You'll be dead meat..."Yvonne said as she cried.The three young men laughed so hard that they doubled up."The city

They wanted to give up, but Zander would not go easy on them. He ran after them and kicked them down one at a time.The two young men, who had been kicked in the stomach by Zander, fell to the floor and vomited. Bright red blood mixed with their vomit—Their intestines were probably bleeding from Zander's kick.Sean had now lifted Yvonne off the floor."You're not hurt, are you?" Sean asked.Sean felt like he was talking nonsense once he finished asking because he could see that Yvonne was hurt—though not badly.The worst wound on Yvonne's body was the one at the corner of her mouth that was still bleeding.There were many scars on her arms and legs. They were scratches she got from the ground when the three young men dragged her.None of these injuries were serious, but they must have hurt.Yvonne was not incapacitated by the injury, but she was terrified, and her legs were shaking.Sean helped her up, and she fell on Sean's chest. Her whole body collapsed into Sean's arms.S

Yvonne had passed out when Sean brought her back, but she had now opened her eyes and woken up.She sat up from the bed but winced in pain as soon as she sat up because she triggered the wounds on her body."Lie down. We're leaving now."Sean said to Yvonne.Yvonne nodded and looked at Sean imploringly. She said nothing, but Sean knew what she meant."Let me think about it, and I'll let you know once I figure something out."Sean said to Yvonne.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, and joy filled her heart.At least Sean did not reject her outright this time.After leaving the slum, Sean and Zander walked slowly back to camp.It was not a very long walk, but it was not a short walk either. It should take about an hour to walk back at this pace or about 40 minutes if they walked faster."Commander, are you planning to..."Zander asked hesitantly.Sean chuckled and said, "Are you asking about Yvonne? Yeah, I'm planning to buy an apartment downtown. You and I will move in togeth

Zander took Dwayne to the commander-in-chief's office.Once he entered the office, Dwayne nodded and bowed before obsequiously cottoning up to Sean. Sean did not take kindly to Dwayne. He asked directly, "I heard Onyx Dragon Gang is vaguely involved with the sheriff's department. You even defended Onyx Dragon Gang. Is that true?"Dwayne's expression immediately changed as he shook his head violently."No! Definitely no! Commander Lennon, I don't know where you heard this rumor, but it's outrageous! Someone created this rumor. It's all made up.""Oh, tell me what's going on then."Sean was asked calmly.Dwayne pulled out two envelopes, respectfully put them on Sean's desk, and spoke."Commander Lennon, here's what happened. Two of our sheriffs in the sheriff's department are indeed involved with Onyx, the head of Onyx Dragon Gang, so Onyx told everyone that he knew people in the sheriff's department and that the sheriff's department has his back, but it was only the two sheriff

Sean was satisfied to see the exquisite model houses in the glass display when he reached it. These were residential areas. The area of the units was between 100 square meters and 150 square meters, and the price was around 5,000 Dragon Dollars per square meter.5,000 Dragon Dollars.Dragon Kingdom's real estate prices were already much higher than this. It was rare to find a house for 5,000 dollars per square meter in Dragon Kingdom. Only some small towns would have houses at this price.However, the City-State Union's economy was not as developed as Dragon Kingdom and had a relatively smaller population. The land per capita was not tense, so the housing price was low.Even so, Dorodo's ordinary people would have to save for years to buy such a house. The slum's residents could forget about it."This is pretty good. Is the top floor empty?"Sean asked, pointing to the building in the middle of a neighborhood.The estate agent immediately said with a chuckle, "This is Crystalv

Mr. Candour's haughtiness made Sean slightly upset.Zander was even angrier than Sean. He was Sean's subordinate and was loyal to Sean. How could he watch his commander be humiliated by an arrogant nobody and stay calm?"We want that unit!"Zander spoke firmly without waiting for Sean to speak.Mr. Candour sneered after hearing Zander's words. "I tried to be respectful, but you don't want it. Did you not hear what I just said? We've sold the unit!""If it's sold, why is it still on sale?"Zander asked immediately.According to the industry's rules, sold units would have been labeled as sold and would not be labeled as on sale. Estate agents would never recommend units that had been sold to the clients who were there to view units.Therefore, he could tell that the unit had not been sold. Mr. Candour probably wanted to keep it all to himself or wanted to sell it to his friends, so he said it had already been sold.Such things were not uncommon, but Zander could not bear the ang
